How To Use A Ouija Board

Once the players are ready and are sat around it, each of you needs to place a finger or two on the Planchette. Take turns asking the dead and spirits questions.

Try not to press your fingers down too hard, or it may stop the spirits from controlling it and responding to your answers.

What questions should I ask the Talking Board?

It is the dead and spirits you are talking to. And remember, they may not be from our time. They could have lived in the 19th century and even fought in the civil war.

Ask some simple questions: Are you male or female? Which year did you pass away in? How old are you? Once you establish, the basic questions will likely flow.

Psychic Services vs Ouija Board

If you want answers from a deceased loved one, you better go to a psychic medium, as they can see and hear the spirit. You can’t see or listen to them when you use them, and they lie. So you may need to speak to someone other than the person you think you are. Let your psychic call for your loved ones. We know it costs money, and you must use a company, but it will be safer. Don’t use a self-proclaimed medium, use one with good popularity.

You can increase the chances of it working. All the players, please put a finger or two on the Planchette. It would help if you then asked the spirits questions. If there are no ghosts there, you will not get a reply, or if they don’t wish to speak at that time, you will not get a response. You can’t force it to happen. They work on their time. If you don’t get results, try again at a different time or haunted location. The best practice is to visit a known haunted place or house and use it there. There is a higher chance that ghosts will be there, and you are not risking bringing anything harmful into your home.

What questions should I ask?

There are many questions you can ask. You can ask them if they have been to New York, been in the Civil War, which company employed them for, what’s happening in the news, and if they were born in October. As it was a living person you were speaking to before they passed, you can ask them anything you could have done when they were alive.

Avoid asking Ouija boards boring questions like how many spirits there are. They may be tired of repeatedly hearing that question. Once you get a response, you are talking to somebody, getting to know them and sparking engaging and interesting questions. You are much more likely to get results if they enjoy the conversation as much as you are.

Spiritualists and Mediums may help your session

Spiritualist people usually believe in Ouija Boards. They may have experience using them and would be a good addition to your group. Mediums can see, hear or communicate with spirits directly, which may help you get better results. You just need to find a spiritualist who is willing to be one of your participants.

Don’t ask for demons or anything negative to come through. Always close the board down once you have finished, and say the lord’s prayer. If the Planchette starts going around in figure 8, or you start getting hateful messages, close it immediately.

And you can find them using a quick Google search. You can acquire crystal and witchcraft symbols, which will offer you some spiritual protection.

Bagging it up several times and putting it in the bin will have the least risk of a harmful effect. Alternatively, you can sell them. If a buyer is going to buy one, it saves you from having to dispose of it, and they may save some money.

What not to ask

Many people use it to talk to loved ones. Do not call out for anyone you know or anyone related to you. It’s common knowledge that the dead tell lies, and it will not be somebody related to you. They will pretend to be related to you and will true them, when it could be a demon tricking you into trusting them.

You can ask Ouija about god, but I don’t think the spirits will give a genuine answer. The spirits you are talking to are usually stuck in limbo, and most likely don’t know the real story or history. The story or history they give regarding god will not be true.

The Science Behind the Mystery

The science community considers the phenomenon to result from the ideomotor effect. The ideomotor phenomenon is a psychological effect where a subject makes physical motions unconsciously, which is when you do something automatically without even noticing. Michael Faraday first noted this in 1853 while he was investigating table tipping.

Many studies have been conducted trying to recreate the effects of the Ouija board in the laboratory environment. And were kept under laboratory conditions, and many subjects were involuntarily moving the Planchette. In 2012, a study found that when answering yes or no questions.

It showed significantly more accurate responses than guesswork. They suggest that it might draw on the powers of the unconscious mind. Sceptics have described its players as the ‘operators’, meaning they are moving the Planchette. Some critics have stated that the messages spelt out by spirits were similar to what was going through the participants’ minds.

What does a professor of neurology think?

According to a professor of neurology, Terence Hines, in his book Pseudoscience and the Paranormal. Professors think unconscious muscular exertions move the Planchette, like those responsible for table tipping movements. In any case, the illusion that there is moving under its control is often compelling.

And it’s sufficient to convince many people that spirits are truly at work. The subconscious muscle movements are responsible for the moving tables seen at seances. These are examples of phenomena due to what psychologists call the dissociative state. A dissociative state is where the consciousness is somehow divided or cut off from the individual’s cognitive, motor, or sensory functions. However, it is only one person’s opinion or belief. He called it facilitated communication and assisted writing.

Early critics and scholars

They were already criticized by scholars early on. Scholars described in a 1927 journal as “primitive belief systems”. And a con to part fools from their hard-earned money. Another journal in 1921 described reports of Ouija board findings as “half-truths”. And the report suggested that their inclusion in newspapers at the time lowered the national discourse.
